Hi Leeedy

"... the present paint color on this car has a meaning... and I recognize it."

Silver-blue metallic with copper top and "Reynolds Wrap" trim, Would you care to elaborate, please?

Hello Steve...

I would be happy to, but I really just don't like doing speculation. So if more info turns up...and if I can see where a provenance leads back to, then it might be possible to talk more in public (like this forum) about this car's history. Doesn't anyone wonder where this car has been all these years since 1955?

Surely, having been around all these years, this car is known to more than just the present owner. The history of this car doesn't start now... it started in 1955. Realizing that the present owner does not know the history... who sold it and where did they get it? Where did it come from? Where did the seller get it to sell? Where did the previous seller before that get it? Or was there a previous seller? Where was the car last registered? WHO had papers on it then and what did they know? What did those papers say?

Unusual cars like this-especially in nice shape- don't just suddenly materialize out of nothing over 60 years after they were built! Gotta be a whole lot more to this story.
